What Ruppersberger said and did, by issue

Method

By congress.gov policy area. Statements are Ruppersberger’s press releases on each area; bills are the ones they sponsored and how far they got; votes show how often they sided with Democrats on party-line votes, next to the party median.

Our statements start in Jan 2025, after the 118th Congress, so this shows bills and votes only.

Issue	Bills sponsored	Votes with Democrats	Closest final vote
Agriculture and Food	2Furthest: Introduced	—	Yea H.R. 1147 330–99
Health	1Furthest: Introduced	93% of 14 · median 100%	Nay H.R. 485 211–208

Bills and votes carry congress.gov’s policy areas. A press release takes the policy area of the main issue it is filed under, else the area the AI reading gave it; releases from before we read them with AI are matched by keywords in their title and first sentence. A count is a fact, not a judgment: members also legislate through amendments, appropriations and other members’ bills.
